What I thought a Keith trade would look like…

EDM - Koskinen, Jones

CHI - Keith, 2nd (44), 2nd (62)

Keith has two years left at 5.5M and Koskinen one year left at 4.5M. Chicago is rumored to be going after Jones next off season and they’d like to get out of Keith’s contract before then.

Oilers management is the gift that just keeps giving.

Unless they have some kind of backroom deal where Seattle is going to take Keith this deal makes no sense at all for the oilers.

The actual deal that went down that is. Keith at full salary for Jones and a conditional 3rd round pick.

At least they did well with the Nuge resigning. 5.1 is very good imo.

Yes Keith at $5.5M is very steep. But let's wait to see what else Holland does this off-season. Maybe Holland has a deal in place that rids the Oilers from the Neal contract.

I would rather have Keith and pay his full contract over Neal's.

So let's say they do have a deal in place to trade Neal.
Then it is just a swap for Keith and Neal.

IMO Keith has more upside then Neal. And he fills the hole on LD (with Klefbom out for another season)

GIVE IT A CHANCE OILERS FANS!

Smith was a bright light for the Oilers last year and there was a lot of haters on him coming back too. So let's wait and see what he can do.

IF they get rid of Neal it’ll probably be a buyout. And if it’s not it’ll be a big price to pay so it would actually be Jones, 3rd++ for the swap. Smith cost what 2M? Big difference. Also I don’t think many people are mad about Keith, there mad Holland traded assets for a bad contract. Lots of other options out there.
